Chapter 1: Overview
The Wi-Fi communication option enables connecting a
SolarEdge inverter to the SolarEdge monitoring platform. The
Wi-Fi Gateway collects all inverters monitoring data using
dedicated Wi-Fi and connects to the monitoring platform
through Ethernet.
The Wi-Fi connection between the gateway and the inverter is
independent ("walled garden"), thus avoids problems related
to the home router, for example: changing the passwordwill
not affect the PVsystem connection to the monitoring
platform.
A Wi-Fi access point is built into the inverter. An antenna
(included in the Wi-Fi Gateway package) connects to the
inverter. The Wi-Fi Gateway is connected to the home router
with an Ethernet cable.
SolarEdge offers two Wi-Fi products:
Wi-Fi Gateway - provides the inverter connection to the
monitoring platform.
Wi-Fi Repeater(s) - one or two repeaters can be used for
extending the Wi-Fi range. The repeater connection to the
Wi-Fi Gateway and inverters is wireless and does not
require an Ethernet cable.
